I'm excited to be going to this game, being a Hawks fan and living in Toronto doesn't afford me the most opportunities to go see them play.

On the point about Toronto really wanting the Bills to move here, I think the people in Toronto that love the NFL want nothing to do with a team here. First off for the Bills in Toronto series, the cheapest tickets which are in the highest half of the 500 level are $95 a piece. It's basically a scam to make a ton of money, more often than not they have to give away tickets just to get a semi-full looking stadium, to look like its successful. Also they reduced the price of tickets this year by about 40% and the cheapest is STILL $95. Toronto fans are fickle when it comes to spots if the team is not doing well (with hockey being the exception). If the team is not doing well, the fans will not support them, and we all know how the Bills have been doing last few years, they won't get any support here.

Also the SkyDome (now called Roger Center) is an AWFUL stadium to watch football in, they would need to build a new stadium to play in. BUT the biggest thing that would hurt a Toronto NFL team is there would be no tailgating, or at least crappier tailgating. Now some of you Americans may be able to correct me, but to me it seems like tailgating is an extraordinarily fun and time honored tradition on Sundays during the season. BBQing food and having some drinks with friends and other fans before the game. In the province of Ontario it's illegal to have open alcohol in a public area, basically you can only drink inside of a building or like on the fenced in patio of a bar. This would kill tailgating and eliminate at least part or most of the draw.

Sorry bout the long post but basically, keep the Bills in Buffalo, it would be better for the fans and the team. Also GO HAWKS!
